ALWAYS PLAY IN THE GARDEN - Radical Wellness message to my Soul

10x7 ink on watercolor

My morning reading from the book of Proverbs reminded me-
                           
" The very steps we take are from God,
   otherwise how would we know where to go"

As I thought about these Words I saw myself stepping into a garden.
I needed to walk thoughtfully and be observant as I went- yet I didn't need to worry for the garden path was always there to keep me moving forward.

The garden idea was pleasant to think about for He created me to enjoy beauty.

I was made for a garden.

When things are hard or stressful I find peace by looking out at the natural world, my soul is nourished and calmed.

I was made for a garden.

Times with family and loved ones seem most enjoyable when surrounded by flora and fauna.   

I was made for a garden.

The artist in me enjoys creating and using the colors and themes of Nature. This is where my spirit loves to play.

For I was made for a garden.

Art - When words arent enough

Remembering Bentley

I know most will agree that the Arts are a most wonderful thing.
From the beginning of time Art has helped express mans deepest feeling from unabashed joy to the depths of despair.

When words arent enough Art is.

My sweet friend lost her favorite cat Bentley last week.
And Art allowed me to say I cared. 

Thinking about Art: A Body of work

Body of Work- ipad art

Creating a body of work is a very important step in an Artist's life. It shows the expanding out of a comfort zone and a venturing into new territory.

It builds personal confidence within the Artist because they learn that the " one great piece" can be repeated in different ways, sizes, colors etc but remain true to the vision.

On a practical note it shows others such as gallery owners or customers that you really can produce what they enjoy seeing consistently.

But I think most importantly it keeps us Curious and that is the heart of a true Artist.
